The ODI World Cup 2023 is nearing its conclusion, and the Indian Cricket Board (ICC) has revealed the officials who will preside over the highly anticipated match between Australia and India on November 19.

In the opening World Cup match between Australia and India at Chepauk, the hosts defeated the five-time world champions by six wickets.
The Indian team, led by MS Dhoni, would be keen to end their trophy drought in cricket. Their most recent victory came in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Since then, India has advanced to multiple tournament semifinals and finals but has not been able to win the championship.
India lost to Australia by 95 runs in the 2015 World Cup semifinal, but the determined Kiwis upset them in the 2019 edition’s semifinals. India is determined to exact revenge on Australia for their 2015 loss after eliminating them in the semifinals of this World Cup to exact revenge on them for their defeat to New Zealand. They would be very excited to land the ultimate blow, earn a position in the championship match, and win the big event of 2023.
The cost of a hotel room on match night has increased as up to Rs 2 lakh.
The Indian Air Force’s Surya Kiran aerobatic team will do an air show prior to the match at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Due to the increased demand from fans hoping to see the match, hotel room rates in Ahmedabad and airfares into the city have increased. In addition to other hotels raising their rates by five to seven times, hotel room rates for the night of the match have escalated to as much as Rs 2 lakh in upscale five-star establishments.
